Since I went through the process several months ago to puree a bunch of vegetables and put them in the freezer, I finally got in gear and tried another Deceptively Delicious recipe. I did make some modifications, mostly because I make my own taco seasoning instead of buying the packet, so here’s how I did it…

Tacos with Sweet Potatoes

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes (with juice)
1/2 cup pureed sweet potatoes
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
3 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp black pepper

Plus Other Taco stuff (shells, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, etc)

Brown the ground beef (or turkey), stir in the rest of the ingredients and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes until sauce has thickened up.
